Hey guys, I don't post here much but I'm trying to get the word out about a robbery that happened while I was away this weekend. All my guns in the house were stolen, hell, all my valuables period were stolen.
Here is a picture of my GAP 375 WSM that I would give anything to get back. It's pretty recognizable so I figured it couldn't hurt:

Also, for the "ZOMG SAFE" guys, some of us, like myself, can't afford a real safe.
Some of us have gun cabinets, some of us keep a gun or two outside of lock and key for, you know, self defense. And sometimes, just sometimes, a criminal either can get a locked storage box open because they're pimp, or they happen to know someone who has access. |

I'd love to have a big safe, tl-15 rated and fireproof, but I can't afford that. All I can swing is a little Stack On cabinet. It keeps my 3 year old out which is all I pretty much care. The only thing a safe should be for is for fires anyway, fuck thieves. |

I told almost no one I was going out of town. Maybe a few people at most, as it was kinda spur of the moment.
For those asking, NO they were not in a safe. YES, that was idiotic, but let me explain. I just graduated college, and am living in the same house as I got a job here. My parents live 30 minutes away, and I have a buddy with a large safe 30 minutes away. I brought a few guns back from my parent's safe to put in my buddy's safe the next time I went over there. I'm in central Missouri. I was warned not to post this on facebook as it's a really high likelyhood I know the thieves based upon the facts thusfar, and that posting about the burglary could "spook" them. |

You can get a $250 RSC off Amazon and nobody is gonna get that thing is a snatch and grab if you build it up right. 1.5x3.5 on all corners, plywood, bolted down and to a rear wall in a closet. Idea is to prevent tool access and prevent people from getting the container on its back or side. Also Collectors Insurance is 80 bucks a year for about $12,000 in coverage and they don't require a safe and will cover your ammo and scopes too. Thievery is covered. Guys, you can't just leave your guns setting out on a stand, uninsured and run off to work. Especially if you have a GAP that you might have 5 thousand bucks in. ETA: http://www.collectinsure.com/ |

Start with your "friends" then the local meth addicts, then move on to the local baby daddies, then on to the local misfit teens. in between check every pawn shop and gun store. The ammo is too unique and who ever stole it won't want to mess around with acquiring the ammo, I bet it's expensive ammo as well.
Shit heals don't want to spend a lot of money for a unique caliber gun, they won't hold on to it for long, they'll sell it for sure, it looks like it's worth money, and that's what they really want. Good luck. |

Expensive guns belong in expensive safes.
See what happens when your guns are not in a safe....from a financial standpoint you have put yourself in more of a money hole. Good luck getting the gun back....

Tell me how you'd get a security deposit back without spending it on bolting it down and then fixing everything when your lease ends or you find a different place. Safes are great. They really are. And if good ones weren't $600 plus, most, if not all of us, would have one. I'm amazed by the amount of "ZOMG SAFE" people exist on gun boards.

It's almost like in the back of some peoples minds, that, if you own a gun, you should be totally financially secure. My wife is a teacher, she started late, so a good chunk of her 39K goes to her 401K. I'm a medically retired vet. I don't make shit. Even if I was in the workforce, the reality is that my "skill set" from the military doesn't translate well to the "real world". I'm kinda like a college grad. I have a shit ton of knowledge about stuff, but not enough experience to find a non-minimum wage job in the area. Add to that an 18 month old son, and spending $600+ on something to keep my guns more secure than the closet my son can't open falls under "not justifiable" at this time. Jesus, a board member lost a freaky looking gun to a fucking piece of shit. Just keep an eye open and stop harping about safes. |

And sometimes, just sometimes, a criminal either can get a locked storage box open because they're pimp, or they happen to know someone who has access. I could afford a GP rifle...............or a safe. Guess which one I chose? 
Security is layers. If my alarm goes off, and someone has time to dick with my safe, my firearms instructor neighbor will gladly ventilate them. Then the only concern would be purchasing beer, bourbon, and brisket for the reward.
I have seen this plan in action a few times with strange cars in the driveway or from forgetting to close a gate. Very observant......... To kill the suspense, I bought a very nice safe, and a Remington 700. I thought that someday I would send the Rem off to GP for some treatment. The gun is a fucking tackdriver and I haven't been able to shoot out the barrel. I also priced insurance. This factored in to the quality of safe I bought, and the countermeasures. Insurance is not cheap. |
